Cons:

Veryslow movement speed.

Short-ranged attacks.

Single-target outside of True Form.

Strategy/Usage

While not too useful before True Form, Cameraman Cat is an extremely efficient DPS unit against Floating enemies. A big enough stack of these will reduce even the mighty Teacher Bun Bun to rubble — let alone his son.

However, Cameraman Cat's true utility lies in her other stats. If you look at them, you'll notice that Cameraman Cat's stats are just about 1/2 of Castaway Cat's. This doesn't make Cameraman Cat a bootleg Castaway, however; Cameraman costs about 50% of what Castaway costs, and has a whopping 16 second shorter recharge time! Because of this, Cameraman can be used to support Castaway Cat in his usual role that is, but being an effective mid-ranged damage dealer, especially to Floating enemies.

Despite the first two forms being very poor (due to their low range and single target attack), the True Form becomes much better. It is exceptionally spammable and deals high damage, especially to Floating enemies.

"Research UP" Combos like Biohazard and Bony Bone can be used to make Cameraman Cat even more spammable than it already is.
